Marina del Rey is best known for its famous California beaches. They are certainly something you'll want to include in your vacation plans, but you'll also want to include the many free things to do in the area as well. There's something for everyone, each night of the week, which makes 'being bored' impossible.

Enjoy Free Music With A Summer Concert Series

Anyone who enjoys music at all is sure to enjoy the summer concert series in Marina del Rey. Instead of spending the evening out on the beach, you can take up a spot on the park grass and enjoy the beautiful summer evenings, being carried away by the various melodies.

You have the option to rent one of the lawn chairs available at the park, or bring your own, but either way, you'll want to get out there early. In fact, why not pick out a good spot and enjoy a picnic summer while you're waiting for the musicians to take their places. Since there are concerts at least two evenings a week and many different styles of music, you can go to every concert and always enjoy a new experience. This activity should definitely top your list of free things to do during your stay.

Watching Movies From The Park Grass

Instead of trying to enjoy a movie in a stuffy theater, head out to the park in Marina del Rey for a famous movie night. These begin later in the evening, just before it gets dark. With movies ranging from classics such as 'Grease' to hot new movies such as 'Madagascar 2', you are sure to have a good time regardless of how old you are.

You'll find it not far from the famed California beaches and there's parking nearby if you decide to drive. And, let's not forget the best part: It's free! All you need to worry about bringing is a chair or blanket to sit on. You might also want to bring something to nibble on and a few drinks to sip on. This is one of those free things to do that'll create moments you'll never forget.

Enjoy The Exciting LA Scene

With LA being so close to Marina del Rey, you can easily enjoy all the free things to do in the big city. You'll want to check out the most widely known of all California beaches, Venice Beach. It has miles of boardwalks lined with street performers and vendors. It changes all the time, so there's always something new. Next, you can wander down the famous Waterfront Walk and enjoy the breathtaking skyline and the boats glide gracefully across the water. If you'd like to try transportation that goes a little faster than walking, try roller blading, skateboarding, or biking, which are also extremely popular in the area.

You might visit Marina del Rey for the famous California beaches, but be sure to add some of the many free things to do into your travel plans as well. You'll love the various opportunities regardless of what your preferences are or how old you are. There's sure to be a free activity especially for you that'll turn a perfect vacation into a memorable one. You may even find it tough to leave when it's over.
